Structured Cabling & Network Infrastructure for Houston Businesses

Structured Cabling Designed by the People Who Understand Your Network

The cable behind the wall is only the beginning. Atiwa Computing designs, installs and supports the physical infrastructure that connects your computers, servers, Wi-Fi, phones, security cameras, access controls and other business technology.

From a single network drop to a complete office or facility build-out, we approach your infrastructure as part of one connected technology environment.

Your Network Is Only as Reliable as the Infrastructure Underneath It

Businesses depend upon their network for almost everything they do.

Computers, phones, wireless access points, security cameras, cloud applications, servers and other connected devices all depend upon the physical infrastructure underneath them.

Poorly planned or improperly installed cabling can result in unreliable connections, performance problems, difficult troubleshooting and expensive changes later.

Atiwa approaches structured cabling differently.

Because we work with both the physical infrastructure and the technology that runs across it, we can look at your network as one complete system—from the cable behind the wall to the devices and applications your employees depend upon every day.

One Company. One Network. One Point of Accountability.

When separate companies install the cabling, network equipment and business technology, troubleshooting can sometimes become complicated.

Is the problem the cable?

The switch?

The wireless network?

The device?

The configuration?

Atiwa works across these different parts of the technology environment.

When there is a problem, our goal isn’t to determine which vendor to blame.

Our job is to find the problem and fix it.

That provides our clients with something increasingly valuable: one technology partner that understands both the physical network and the technology connected to it.

Structured Cabling Services

Depending upon the needs of the project, Atiwa can provide structured cabling and network infrastructure for:

  • Voice and data cabling
  • Network drops and connections
  • New office construction and build-outs
  • Office expansions and relocations
  • Moves, adds and changes
  • Network and server rooms
  • Racks and patch panels
  • Wireless access point infrastructure
  • Wi-Fi network installations
  • Security camera infrastructure
  • Access-control systems
  • Voice and telephone systems
  • Warehouses and distribution facilities
  • Multi-building and campus environments
  • Troubleshooting and repair of existing network infrastructure

Atiwa can also coordinate the cabling infrastructure with the network equipment and technology that will ultimately use it.

  • Designed for the Technology It Will Support

    A cable run shouldn’t be considered in isolation.

    Before infrastructure is installed, it is important to understand what will ultimately connect to it.

    A workstation has different requirements from a wireless access point. A security camera may require both network connectivity and Power over Ethernet. Conference-room technology, VoIP phones and other connected systems introduce their own requirements.

    Because Atiwa also works with the technology connected to the network, we can consider factors such as:

    Bandwidth requirements • PoE requirements • Wi-Fi placement • Network equipment • Device locations • Security cameras • Phones • Access control • Future expansion

    The objective isn’t simply to put cable in the wall.

    The objective is to build infrastructure that supports how the business actually uses technology.

  • Plan Today for What You May Need Tomorrow

    Office technology rarely remains static.

    Companies add employees. Offices are rearranged. Wireless requirements increase. Cameras are added. Access-control systems expand. Network equipment changes.

    Thinking about those possibilities during the design stage can save considerable disruption later.

    A little planning before the walls are closed can prevent a lot of expensive work later.

    Atiwa considers both the client’s immediate requirements and where the technology environment may be headed as the business grows.

  • From Behind the Wall to the Network

    One of Atiwa’s biggest advantages is the breadth of technology we can bring together.

    Depending upon the project, that can include:

    Structured Cabling → Network Closet → Racks & Patch Panels → Switches → Wi-Fi → Phones → Security Cameras → Access Control → Computers & Servers → Cloud Connectivity → Ongoing IT Support

    Instead of viewing each component as a separate project, Atiwa can help clients think about how those systems work together.

  • Faster Troubleshooting. Less Finger-Pointing.

    Network problems don’t always originate where they appear.

    What looks like a computer problem may actually be a network connection. What looks like a Wi-Fi problem may involve the underlying network. An unreliable device may ultimately trace back to a physical connection.

    Because Atiwa understands both sides of the environment, our technicians can investigate the physical and logical network together.

    Instead of beginning with:

    “Who installed this?”

    we can begin with:

    “Where is the problem?”

  • Office Moves, Remodels and New Facilities

    Moving into a new office or opening a new facility involves much more than running cable.

    The real objective is to have the business operational when employees arrive.

    Atiwa can help coordinate multiple pieces of the technology environment, including cabling, network infrastructure, Wi-Fi, phones, conference-room technology, computers, servers, security cameras, access control and Internet connectivity.

    The Goal Isn’t to Finish the Cabling.

    The Goal Is to Have the Business Ready to Work.

    For businesses already using Atiwa for Managed IT Services, this can provide an especially smooth transition because our team already understands the client’s technology environment.

  • Real Infrastructure. Real Houston Projects.

    Atiwa has designed and installed network infrastructure for Houston businesses and organizations ranging from offices to warehouses, distribution facilities and multi-building campuses.

    65,000-Square-Foot Houston Distribution Center

    A large, long-established Houston manufacturer needed a turnkey structured cabling installation for a new 65,000-square-foot distribution facility.

    Atiwa installed approximately 75 voice and data cable runs, including runs requiring scissor lifts to reach ceilings approximately 50 feet high.

    The project included cable termination and testing, installation and connection to the server rack and patch panel, and installation of 15 wireless access points throughout the facility.

  • 25,000-Square-Foot Houston Office & Warehouse

    An international procurement and distribution company constructing a new 25,000-square-foot Houston facility needed much more than basic cabling.

    Atiwa designed and installed the structured cabling infrastructure, including:

    65 network drops • Server room • 32 security cameras • Burglar alarm system • Entry and exit gate access controls

    The approximately six-month project brought multiple technology and security systems together as part of a coordinated infrastructure installation and was completed on time and within budget.

  • Five-Acre Houston Campus Wireless Network

    A Houston nonprofit organization serving veterans needed wireless connectivity across its approximately five-acre campus, which houses about 120 veterans.
    Atiwa installed a campus-wide wireless backbone designed to provide Wi-Fi connectivity throughout the location.
    The project demonstrates an important part of network infrastructure design: sometimes the challenge isn’t simply connecting an office—it is providing reliable connectivity across an entire property.

  • Turnkey Network for a 100-Person Houston Office

    A Houston independent insurance agency renovating its office needed a complete network infrastructure solution.

    Atiwa designed the structured cabling, server-room layout and wireless access-point configuration, and then completed the installation.

    The project was completed on time and within budget.

  • More Than Cabling

    Other recent Atiwa infrastructure projects have included:

    • Supporting the IT and structured cabling requirements for a large Houston-based civil and railroad services contractor across three Texas offices, including cabling, Wi-Fi, fiber, Internet backbone connectivity, server rooms, warehouses and other workspace buildings.
    • Designing and installing structured cabling and integrating a security-camera and surveillance system into the existing network of a Houston waste-services company.
    • Helping a Houston financial-services company relocate to a new office while installing the structured cabling, TVs, monitors and audiovisual technology for a professional conference room used for meetings with employees and remote clients around the world.

    These projects illustrate an important difference in Atiwa’s approach:

    We don’t necessarily stop where the cable ends.

  • Wi-Fi Starts With the Infrastructure

    Reliable business Wi-Fi requires more than simply installing wireless access points.

    The location of access points, cabling, network switches, power requirements and configuration of the wireless environment all affect performance.

    Because Atiwa works with both the network infrastructure and Wi-Fi technology, we can approach wireless connectivity as part of the complete network rather than as a collection of individual devices.

  • Security Cameras and Access Control

    Modern security cameras and access-control systems increasingly depend upon the same network infrastructure that supports other business technology.

    Atiwa’s experience includes cabling and infrastructure for security cameras, surveillance systems, alarms and access-control applications.

    Because we also understand the network underneath those systems, we can help integrate physical-security technology into the broader technology environment.

  • One Partner From Build-Out to Ongoing IT Support

    There is another advantage when Atiwa installs infrastructure for a Managed IT Services client.

    We may continue supporting that environment long after construction is finished.

    The company that understands the cabling can also understand the switches, wireless network, computers, servers, cloud services and cybersecurity environment.

    That continuity can make future changes and troubleshooting considerably easier.

    Build the infrastructure. Manage the technology. Protect the environment.

    We partnered with Atiwa several years ago to help ensure HIPAA compliance with our technology. One of the best decisions ever made! The technicians are knowledgeable about HIPAA requirements. I’m not an IT person but had to fill that role by default. Atiwa set up a secure network and implemented 24/7 monitoring software that ended the daily headaches of expired antivirus software, malfunctioning PCs and inappropriate use of PCs by staff which freed up so much of my time. Their customer service is outstanding. We still use some quirky, outdated programs. Atiwa has accommodated these needs and keeps the programs functioning at acceptable levels. They make affordable recommendations when we need to buy new equipment. I highly recommend Atiwa for your business IT solutions. They are the best!

The equipment worked as promised and the video segment of the celebration was a big hit. I appreciated his insight that based upon the number of attendees a larger screen was not needed, which of course saved me money. I would definitely recommend the services of Atiwa.

    My personal laptop took a dive, and I was in desperate need of a substitute laptop (I’m in the job market and a laptop is indispensable) while mine was sent off to Dell for repairs. A quick Google search led me to Atiwa, so I called and spoke to Chris. In a matter of minutes, I was at their store picking up my rental unit, which worked perfectly for my needs. From pick-up to drop-off 2 weeks later, the entire experience was seamless and efficient. My hat is off to Chris and his staff, particularly Anabelle, who called me after I turned the laptop in, just to make sure I was satisfied with their services. It’s not often you experience customer service like that! I highly recommend Atiwa without reservation. Thanks Atiwa!!!
